Reflecting

Reflecting on my experience as a whole, I'm happy with how my field experience went. I'm sad that it is over and I'll miss many parts of it. There were downsides, but I'm going to miss waking up and seeing my kiddos each day. I made a connection with many of them, including some I never thought I would. I think I gained a lot of insight from this experience. It was my second field experience in a Kindergarten classroom, and while it is not what I expect to want to teach in the future, seeing it from two different perspectives and classrooms is very interesting and beneficial. It was my first time in a St Cloud area school as well, which was also very different from what I am used to. It was 5 weeks of hard work, but I'm happy to be moving on closer towards the ultimate goal. Field experience is great, but I cannot wait to student teach.
